Watched it again and again. Simply brilliant narration. The unfolding of the Dholavira sign board is revealed with breath-taking splendour. Its message? A proclamation of the competence of Bronze Age Artificers. Four spoked wheels appear together with six other hieroglyphs in a three part messwage. The refrain is:.eraka 'nave of wheel' rebus 'eṟaka, eraka any metal infusion; molten state' fusion (Kannada), eraka molten, cast (as metal); eraguni to melt (Tulu). dula 'two' rebus dul 'metal casting'. The key is lid hieroglyph ^ ḍhaṁkaṇa 'lid' rebus dhakka 'excellent, bright, blazing metal article'. Proclamation of metal artifacts, par excellence. Another key is 'claws of crab' hieroglyph: ḍaṭom, ḍiṭom to seize with the claws or pincers, as crabs, scorpions; rebus: dhatu 'mineral (ore)'.kanac 'corner' rebus: kañcu 'bronze'; loa 'ficus' rebus: loh 'copper, metal' PLUS karna 'ear'rebus: karna 'scribe'Aha, smelters of ores, forgers of inscribed metal alloy wares.. What a proclamation of ca. 2500 BCE !!!
Now, watcch the unfolding of the Dholavira signboard from 26:52 to 31:25 of the historic moments, the discovery of a writing system...
